Capital Square expects bids of up to $2,500psf

The succesful transaction of Capital Square should help to lift property valuation in the vicinity, said DBS.

The expression of interest exercise for Capital Square at Church Street will close tomorrow. DBS belieces the office building could attract some more interests from institutional investors given the better office market outlook in Asia, including Singapore.

Market is expecting bids to come in at about $2,300 psf to as high as $2,500 psf for the property, valuing it at $889m to $1b. DBS believes that the successful transaction of Capital Square, another Grade A office building, should help to lift the overall Grade A capital values.

With current cap rate compression and strong recovery in capital value, commercial land lords should see an uplift in RNAV. We believe a faster reflation can be found in the commercial landlords.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
